Facebook has released a post describing their role in taking down the Lecpetex botnet, a security threat that was spread through the social media platform.

“Lecpetex”, named by Microsoft, was a lesser known bit of malware that first started to show a pattern about seven months ago. Giving a way in to the infected computer via the social account itself, it would hijack user accounts to promote spam files that further spread the malware.
